OCTOBER 26TH - NO TRICKS, JUST TREATS
Welcome to The Western Front - 120m of music, news, and views. We broadcast across the Front Range on alternate Wednesdays from 9-11 pm MT.
Here we go again with another action packed show for you. We'll hear the energetic sounds of Denver's own Red Cloud West, we'll go back in time and listen to the music of Madagascar from some rediscovered field recordings, we'll dive head first into the mysterious electronic world of the Boards of Canada, plus we'll show you where all the cool free mp3s are hiding. All that, plus the latest news and music.
Joe King and Sara T team up to navigate the nebulous waters... don't touch that dial.
FEATURES FOR THIS EVENING:

Over thirty years have passed since anyone has heard the music you're about to hear this evening. Tonight we'll listen to some rare field recordings from Madagascar that have recently been rediscovered by KGNU's very own Karl Eggert.
